Luis and Elmo wait at the steps of 123 Sesame Street for Gabi and Maria to return from the doctor. When they arrive, Maria reveals Gabi has a light case of the flu, and she can't be around other kids. Luis and Maria decide to postpone Gabi's party until she feels better. They head up to their apartment to rest, while Elmo tells the viewers, "This isn't a happy birthday... This is an un-happy birthday!" He thinks of how to make it better.

Gabi is resting in the living room while Maria is keeping her company, Luis called all of the guests that Gabi invited to her party and told them that Gabi is sick and that the party has been postponed until she feels better, Maria says that even though she's too sick to have her party, she can still receive her birthday gifts. They bring out her gifts: an acoustic guitar, a Spanish-speaking toy doll from her tia Mercedes and uncle Felix, and a Mexican pinata from her tia Matilda. Luis blindfolds Gabi and she whacks it to open out the candy. They all have a fun time, especially Gabi, and Luis reminds her what her mother said: "It's okay to be sad because you got sick on your birthday." She says it's hard to be sad when you have all these gifts and candy on the floor.

Elmo walks down the street, delivering the gifts from Gabi's friends to her house in order to make her happy. He runs into The Count, and asks if he has gotten everybody ready. He has, but before they can bring the gifts to Gabi, he must count all of the presents. And since it's Gabi's birthday, he vows to count them in Spanish! He starts counting them, but briefly forgets what seven is in Spanish. During this time, the weight of the presents starts getting heavier on Elmo's hands. Once the Count reaches the total, 10 presents, the weight is too heavy, causing Elmo to collapse.

The Rodriguez family sits in the kitchen, surrounded by birthday party utensils. Gabi plays her guitar, feeling sad that her party would've started now if she hadn't been sick. The doorbell suddenly rings, and Luis runs to the door to meet a postal worker (performed by Fran Brill) with a singing telegram, and a special package for Gabriella Rodriguez from Puerto Rico. It's for Gabi! The deliverer sings her telegram, which Maria explains is a Puerto Rican birthday greeting. Gabi opens the package, which contains a pogo stick sent from her grandmother. The deliverer also learns Gabi is sick, and happens to cheer her up with the exact same motto her parents told her!

Elmo is about to walk into Gabi's apartment with her friends' birthday gifts. The Count catches up and asks if Elmo is ready. Elmo reminds the Count not for him to start singing until he follows him inside.
